The Big Idea

Watch out! This spiky, smashing, steamrolling Ankylosaurus has rolled onto the scene and threatens to flatten anything in its path. With a studded, segmented tail, a pivoting body, a swiveling head, and snapping jaws, Spike knows that no job is impossible when he’s on the construction site.

Inventor: Bruce Lund

As a child, Bruce loved dinosaurs (T‑Rex, Stegosaurs, and Triceratops were his faves) and construction vehicles best. In fact, this well-known toy inventor still displays his favorite hydraulic action dump truck in his office and has a roaring, life-sized T‑Rex skull hanging in his conference room! Perhaps these were his inspiration for this mashed-up line of mega-morphed dino trucks!

Toy has a hinge point between two articulating pieces that is not strong enough. This toy broke on Christmas Day within 30 minutes of use.

Was this a gift?:

Yes

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought this last Christmas for my now 4 year old. He loves dinosaurs and any kind of vehicle so it was the perfect toy for him.It was great to have a toy that transitioned easily between indoor and outdoor play. He could play with it in the sandbox and then we would rinse it off and bring it back inside.Unfortunately, something happened to it right before Christmas this year. I went to take it out of the toy box and it was broken right in half at the joint that connects it together. My son was very upset about it.

It is a toy I would definitely buy again though. In fact, I ordered the triceratops right about the same time. My boys are pretty rough on toys, so I was impressed at how well it held up.
